SchoolSpan Versus Do It Yourself Some IT departments might say "We can build it ourselves and save money" or choose to work with a local computer programmer to create a custom application But experience and current events demonstrate that these approaches are penny wise, pound foolish. Some of the problems that districts have experienced: The applications built are not adequately tested to ensure they can work with the increased demand over time If districts lose their "specialist," they may not be able to make future changes to the software Consultants may charge less up front to create a program, but then charge much higher fees to update it in the future The programs may be build in platforms that do not cannot scale with increased use. Locally hosted applications require additional servers and staff to maintain them, especially during evening, weekend and holiday hours SchoolSpan will continue to develop new applications based on research and development with our member districts, creating a large repertoire of web site solutions.
